Introduction

Bill Is Ready for His Next FP&A Leadership Role

Senior transformation FP&A leader driving faster close, forecasting rigor, and cost discipline.

Huntington Beach, CA

About

I bring order to messy numbers, so leaders can move faster with confidence.

I have always been drawn to the moment when a business feels stuck, forecasts are noisy, costs are creeping, and teams are working hard but not aligned. My best work is building a steady operating rhythm, clear models, and a decision cadence that helps people breathe again. The goal is simple, make finance useful, timely, and trusted.

I help leadership teams replace periodic planning with a reliable, continuous forecast that ties together P&L, cash, and working capital. At L3Harris, I owned division-level three-statement modeling and the operating cadence behind orders, revenue, OI, FCF, and WC so decisions could happen earlier, not at quarter-end.

I also like the unglamorous work that quietly changes outcomes. I cut the monthly close cycle by 50% from 10 to 5 business days in 7 months, and I have led disciplined overhead and variance management on a $150M cost base with SOX-aligned controls.

In defense and regulated environments, details matter. My EVMS Level II background and program economics experience let me partner with operations without hand-waving, while still keeping the story clear for executives, boards, and investors.

If you know a CFO, VP Finance, or transformation leader who needs tighter forecasting, faster close, or better cash discipline, I would value a warm intro. A LinkedIn share or a quick forward to someone in A&D, industrial, MedTech, or a PE portfolio role would genuinely help.

Target roles: VP, FP&A or Head of FP&A, Finance Transformation Leader (Planning, Close, Analytics), Portfolio CFO or VP Finance (PE-backed)
